Today, the ladies of the Eta Upsilon Sigma chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. honor Juneteenth, a day of freedom, resilience, and hope. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Texas—more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth stands as a powerful reminder of the enduring pursuit of justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
Like our founders, as women dedicated to Greater Service, Greater Progress, we celebrate the strength, achievements, and contributions of African Americans throughout history and recommit ourselves to uplifting our communities through education, advocacy, and service.
May we continue to learn from the past, embrace the present, and work together toward a future where freedom and equity are fully realized for every generation.
Happy Juneteenth!
"Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last." — Martin Luther King Jr.
